Category Standard

Lunar Outpost is a verified, high-impact space technology company serving as a prime contractor for NASA's Artemis Lunar Terrain Vehicle (LTV). However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing demonstrably false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product') and lazy data entry. While the verifiable reality of the project drives high scores in Utility, Innovation, and Timing, the careless submission significantly penalizes the Traction and Audience Reach metrics via the Quality Factors.
